Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q96362496. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1963, 1960 and 1961.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
